And as a separate thread:

UTXO is just “unspent transaction outputs”. The reason Bitcoin and Ethereum can send transactions of any size for the same fee is because ALL transactions are secured by the entire network, regardless of their size. So they just charge the cost of what a consensus process would take (proof of work, nakamoto consensus in this case) for the entire network to agree on the linear order of that transaction in the sequence. It’s a brute force inefficient approach. Like transporting $1 in the same armored vehicle with a convoy as $1,000,000



You might be able to code something, but clearly have no idea what are talking about and what are desirable properties (which you call inefficient, which I call aligning incentives)


Can you explain what you actually mean by aligning incentives? How would you know whether someone knows what they’re talking about?
